Hey guys
A couple of questions if anyone can help!
I currently own Athena Audition series (AS B2) Bookshelf speakers which are good sounding speakers but they have absolutly no punch whatsoever bass wise. Also since I have to buy some speaker stands now for them and my Dayton amp for my subwoofer died. I am looking for tower speakers that have some punch and some bass. Which would solve both problems.
I've been looking at the Polk RTI10's which are on sale now for 500$ or the Energy C500's for 300$. Which to me sounds like a steal both have great reviews. I'd be powering them with a Pioneer 1014.
Is that sufficient power to drive the Polks alone? I've heard they are power hungry and need to be driven with a good preamp to sound good.
I currently also have an Athena center channel speaker and I know its best to match your center with the front speakers but for budget reasons i cannot right away but I'm sure any of the RTI centers or any of the same series Energy speakers would match well.
